Headteacher's Welcome

‘Living life in all its fullness’
 
At Graffham and Duncton Schools, we are proud to offer a nurturing, vibrant, and inclusive environment where children thrive academically, socially, and personally. Our mixed-age classes and close-knit community create a unique opportunity for every child to be known, valued, and supported as they grow into confident, independent learners.
 

Rooted in our shared vision which is inspired by “Living life in all its fullness”, we provide an education that balances academic excellence with creativity, curiosity, and care. Our curriculum is designed to inspire every child to discover their potential, encouraging resilience and a lifelong love of learning.

As small schools in the heart of the South Downs, we are deeply connected to our surroundings and our local community. We take pride in fostering meaningful relationships with families, friends, and neighbours, creating a strong sense of belonging for all.

 
Choosing the right school for your child is a significant decision, and we warmly invite you to visit us. Come and experience our happy and purposeful learning environments, meet our dedicated team, and see firsthand what makes Graffham and Duncton such special places for children to learn and grow.
 
We look forward to welcoming you to our schools.

Rector's Welcome

Rev. Vivien Turner - St. Giles, Graffham

A warm welcome to two schools with a parish priest each and a shared vision, for every child to grow in ‘fullness of life’. I’m ‘revrunvivien’, the parish priest at St Giles Church supporting the Graffham village community. I commend the ethos of our Graffham Infant school with enthusiasm, as both caring of, and ambitious for its children, and appreciate its happy atmosphere whenever I visit. I’m now pleased to lead collective worship in either the school hall or the church, exploring and celebrating the school’s Christian values, and festival services in church at the end of each term.  Many children have recalled Graffham School with affection over its one hundred and sixty years of service. It’s a delight to know children still can. Alongside the church community which founded it and continues to offer wholehearted support today, may it's schoolchildren long continue to seek God’s blessing here: Bless us in our work, bless us in our play, bless our Graffham Infant School, bless us every day. Amen.
